Let's put up a web site where you can post the hospital's medical score. We can see how many sponges got left in patients, etc. Just sounds fair to me.
Creativity is the combination of two or more things that have never been put together before. It therefore follows that the more knowledge you have the more creative you can be. Your example of a poorly designed remote has nothing to do with creativity. It's an example of poor design. Your conclusion is wrong and you seem to just be fishing for headlines. Go do your homework before you post again.
If you want it changed make it happen. Learn how to make the changes to the major applications in use today and contact each of the tech contacts listed that run that program. Make up a boiler plate email about security with a pointer to an FAQ and offer to help them. Or create a forum where they can all participate and ask them to join. Otherwise it won't get changed until there's a large worm outbreak that uses the vulnerability.
I will not be a slave to everyone else's whim and answer the phone, an IM, text message, or anything else. If they want something they can leave a message. I'll answer it when I have time. If I do others the courtesy of leaving a message for them and they don't even bother to answer I let them know about their bad manners. Personally.
Why are you posting this ill considered crap as if it were news?
A witness who can state, in court, they knew about your invention on a specific date is useful when determining who gets custody of an idea if two people file for patent simultaneously.

The package manager is installed just like on any other system. Upgrades are not a problem. This guy 'upgrades' because he's a technophile tinkerer, not because there's any valid reason for doing so.
define what is expected of you IN DETAIL. Ask any ten folks what a manager does and you'll get ten different answers. I've had lots of managers that wanted to write code. That's not their job any longer and they made doing mine harder.
Very seldom has quality been under my control. I'm told what language to use, how to design it, etc. All the choices that directly control the worth of the final product are already chosen for me.
It's not THAT bad! It's only real problem is that it tries to be everything to everyone. It therefore never does a great job at anything. It's the swiss army knife of libraries. Personally I always seem to end up going for separate better optimized tools;)
Is this a journalists technique they teach at college? Maybe in 'how to write controversial articles 101'? Take anything popular and write that "it's dead" and you've got instant front page stuff?
ATHF put up signs flipping the public the bird. People took exception to being insulted. They smacked the perpetrators for their arrogance and bad taste. What part of this is hard for you to understand? They deserved everything they got.
People don't play games if get consistently beaten. They want to win. If your AI is too good it won't make for a very fun game. It just has to be good enough not to lose easily. The best thing would be a game that tailors it's difficulty so it's challenging for the player but not too hard. It should adapt as the player gets more skillful. Just my 2 cents.
The media companies tell the lobbyists, who pay the congressmen and senators, to plug the "analog hole". Then they see the writing on the wall that Joe Schmoe will be mad because his TV doesn't work any more. "That's okay! We'll give him a voucher!" Everybody with money wins!
Dell supports windows all the time, as part of their business, and you presume to say they don't know how it's done? They make a lot of money giving people what they want. They understand it a lot better than you do.
I can use a spirograph without understanding anything about math. I can draw penrose tiles without too. The interview on the radio states they developed a set of stencils to do these. I doubt they knew the math behind it. You don't really need to and it's still pretty, which is the object for the artist.

Then they'd get paid for all the traffic! ;)

especially since I don't see anything about exporting the result to any 3d rendering program

It has references to paper works if you must kill trees to learn

People that aren't considerate of their partners get in fights?
Really? WOW! How surprising!
Windows certainly isn't about performance.
This guy should spend time with real users and get some clues.
AMEN!

Thanks fred. Guess that puts that to rest.

They deserved everything they got.
how do we fix it? Is the review board elected or what?

>by and large, he had accurately, chillingly, prophesied an entire decade or two of software and hardware development.
It was a self fulfilling prophecy. As the head of microsoft he was in a position to make things happen the way
he wanted them to. He's no prophet.
>network engineers often spend time putting out fires when they could be improving the network
No they can't. That costs money and they're not allowed to.
This guy never worked for a living I guess.
